Title: Mobile communications device with shared GNSS / cellular radio local oscillator
Inventor: BABITCH DANIEL
IPC: G01S19/23
Filed: 2013-02-07
Abstract: A mobile communication device 200 includes a receiver 210 for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals, and an RF receiver 210, e.g. a cellular radio receiver. The device 200 also includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 204 which supplies a signal to both the GNSS receiver and the RF receiver. The device 200 further includes a processor 202 which initialises and adjusts a model of the frequency behaviour of the VCO, and uses the model to track the GNSS signals when computing a location of the mobile device. The model of the VCO may be based on the operating temperature and the control voltage of the VCO. The processor may also adjust the model by comparing the oscillator signal to a reference frequency while varying a control voltage applied to the VCO. A reference signal may be supplied during manufacture to initialise the model. As long as the cellular modem 210 is not receiving cellular signals, the modelling procedure may be performed. The system allows the GNSS receiver accurately to track GNSS signals during operation of the cellular modem.

Title: High temperature drilling motor drive with cycloidal speed reducer
Inventor: HUMMES OLOF
IPC: E21B4/00
Filed: 2011-12-15
Abstract: A bottom hole assembly has a drill bit that is driven by a downhole turbine. The turbine speed is reduced by cycloidal gearing that requires no temperature sensitive seals when operating temperatures in some applications exceed 350 degrees F. The output shaft of the cycloidal gear reducer goes through a bearing before connection to the drill bit or associated reamer. The motive fluid can be the drilling mud. The bit can be driven at desired speeds such as 50-300 RPM while the speed reduction ratio can be in the order of 10 to 1 or more. This drive assembly can replace Moineau type downhole motor drivers that have temperature limitations due to use of rubber in the stators.

Title: An ironing assistant pad
Inventor: MULLIGAN BERNADETTE
IPC: D06F85/00
Filed: 2013-10-23
Abstract: The ironing assistance pad (1, Figure 1) is formed from a central layer 2 having two parallel opposed planar faces and a resiliently deformable body. First and second outer cotton sheet layers 3, 4 are formed to allow the penetration of steam and heat from an iron. Each sheet layer is sized and shaped to cover a face of the central layer. The pad can be placed inside clothes or other items to be ironed to hold them in shape while they are ironed, or placed between an iron and clothes to help shield the clothes from excess heat or steam produced by the iron. Steam and heat may still freely penetrate through the pad to allow clothes to be ironed to the required finish and help to prevent telltale pressed seam lines. The two sheet layers may be connected to one another around their perimeter edges by stitching 5. The two sheet layers may also be metalized and perforated. The pad may be sized to fit within a shirt or trouser pocket or a hip section of trousers.

Title: Heating control systems
Inventor: SCHOFIELD DARRYL
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 2013-11-08
Abstract: The controller 20 regulates a boiler 2 having a thermostat 6, fuel burner 4, flow pipe 30 and return pipe 32. The flow and return pipes are preferably associated with a central heating system. The controller is connected to flow 34 and return 38 temperature sensors by respective inputs 36 and 40 and has an input associated with the thermostat and an output for activating the burner, preferably via a control relay 50. The controller also has a memory 44 that stores the sensed temperatures when the thermostat opens, i.e. deactivates the burner. When the thermostat closes, so as to activate the burner again, the controller delays firing of the burner, preferably by keeping the control relay open. The length of the delay is dependent on the ratio of the current flow and return temperatures to their previous, stored values. Ideally, a maximum delay is imposed when there is no change in these temperatures. The controller ideally includes a microcontroller 22, with the relay regulating opening of a fuel valve 12 to control firing of the burner.

Filed: 2012-04-04
Abstract: ï»¿This Invention deals with data processing methods. This method involves the receipt of video data from a video camera and transmission of 5 ranked video data to a user and/or to storage via communication links. Received live video data is first segmented based on at least one object and/or event; then, each segment is analyzed for characteristics that are critical for the priority estimate of a segment and/or used to search for segments in the storage. Each segment is prioritized based on its characteristics. Segments are 10 ranked based on their priority estimates; the resulting priority queue of segments or one segment of the highest priority is transmitted to a user and/or recorded into storage. This Invention reduces load imposed on limited bandwidth communication links and improves video data processing without sacrificing video quality.
